Following his triumphant worldwide reunion tour with Return To Forever in 2008 and separate trio tours in 2009 with Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke and pianist Hiromi with Clarke, drummer Lenny White was primed to put out his own recording, his first as a leader in ten years. With Anomaly (Abstract Logix 2010) , the pioneering jazz-rock drummer returns to his roots, blending powerhouse backbeats and improvisational abandon in a bold, unapologetically aggressive manner that characterized the early 70s fusion movement. On that RTF tour he told sold-out crowds every night: This is not a boy band, this is a man band. And we need to take back the music as musicians.

And I really meant that, says White. We need to restart a revolution so that we can take back the music and stop the fluff. And Im hoping that this new album is a representation of that.
